HKD 200 + 800+
WhatsApp written confirm before dispatch · No fix no fee · On-site re-test
Why not the cheapest? "$200 starting" is 99% bait-and-switch — HK industry open secret. We don't play that game. Why not the most expensive? No commission, no fancy shop rental, no flashy marketing — the savings go back to the customer.
🛡 No Fix = No Work Fee
If we can't clear it, you only pay HKD 200 inspection. Written on the receipt, quotable by the customer.
📝 What We Don't Do — Honestly
Pipe leaks, burst pipes, water heaters → we refer you to a reliable licensed plumber, no referral fee. "100% guaranteed clear" is dishonest — we don't say that.

📸 38 Real Work Photos — What Hong Kong Owners Deal With & How We Fix It
Every photo is from a real job we personally handled. No stock photos. No marketing templates. No AI-generated images. 100% real. After seeing these, you'll understand why we charge from HKD 800 — and why we never quote $700 then inflate the bill.
Old Hong Kong buildings mostly have brick-built chambers. Decades of accumulated silt + grease + brick fragments make these the toughest jobs.
Brick Chamber · Deep High-Pressure Wash Basement chamber untouched for years — walls covered in black hardened grease. We opened the cover, used high-pressure jetting to shatter the deposits layer by layer. The owner clapped when they saw the original brick colour reappear.Brick Chamber · Wash Angle Two Same job, different angle. The owner asked us to take more photos. We don't mind — transparency is trust.Square Chamber · The Shocking Reveal The moment we lifted the iron cover: silt, broken bricks and debris filling the chamber. The owner had tried lifting it once and panicked. We've seen it all — calm handling.Old Brick Chamber with Cast Iron Inlet Typical structure of decades-old buildings: brick walls + old cast-iron inlet pipes. We know every era's chamber structure and which spots are most likely to fail.Manual Reaming in Progress The wooden handle is the reaming head — the technician manually breaks up the blockage. Outdoor chambers are the hardest: sun exposure + stench + bending over 30–90 minutes. No shortcuts for deep blockages.Electric Snake Entry · Testing Depth If the snake stops after a few cranks, we know there's a hard blockage and switch to a reaming head. We test step by step — no random charges.Snake Deep Inside · Working Moment The snake has reached the bottom, circling to break up the blockage. Pulled out every few dozen seconds to check progress.After Clearing · Clean Result All silt removed from the chamber floor. We then run water for 3–5 minutes to confirm flow.Mid-Ream · Extracting Hard Chunks Black chunks + red brick fragments pulled from the chamber floor — the mortar from old brick drainage has partially crumbled. We advise owners to arrange proper chamber repair afterward.After · Clear Water Flowing — Confirmed The most satisfying photo: clear water flowing freely. The rippling pattern is visual proof it's clear. We photograph it and send it to the owner via WhatsApp.
🔧 Cast Iron Pipe Diagnosis (8 photos)
We don't just treat symptoms — we remove pipes and show you the real condition before deciding whether to clear or replace.
Red Cast Iron P-Trap · Removed for Inspection Kitchen sink draining extremely slowly — industrial bleach didn't help. We removed the P-trap so the owner could see the condition.Multiple Sections Removed · Full System Check Not just the P-trap — we removed several nearby pipe sections. System-wide problem or single spot? One look tells all.Laid Out for Owner Inspection We neatly arrange the removed fittings for the owner to inspect. Transparency is trust.T-Fitting Fully Disassembled Stainless coupling, rubber seal and inlet fitting all taken apart. The owner understood why previous quick-fix unblocking only lasted a month — the inlet was completely sealed shut.Gloved Close-Up · Kwun Tong Old Building Main stack section from a 1980s Kwun Tong building. After cutting it out, we held it open for the owner. One photo is worth ten minutes of explanation.Cracked Section · Replace, Don't Clear The end was completely cracked + internal grease crust. We immediately told the owner: this needs replacement, not clearing. Honest diagnosis, always.Coupling + Grease Build-Up A previous technician tried wrapping it with a coupling as a quick fix. Six months later, grease had built up inside the coupling. Patch-and-walk consequence.Side-by-Side Deterioration Comparison One section still okay, another completely gone. The owner then understands why some sections need replacing. Honest pricing starts here.
🔍 Pipe Interior Macro Shots (7 photos)
Close-up shots are more convincing than words. Why your drain is blocked — the answer is here.
T-Fitting Bore Completely Sealed The original 50mm bore was gradually filled by grease crystals over years, leaving only a fingernail-sized hole.Sink Pipe · Solid Tar Blockage The entire pipe was filled with hardened black tar. Regular drain cleaner, bleach, even a small snake were useless. We honestly quoted high-pressure jetting at HKD 2,500 — solved in one visit.Severely Blocked · Tiny Opening Left A normal 50mm pipe narrowed by crystalline deposits to a 5mm opening. We advise owners to consider pipe replacement.Rust + Grease Double Build-Up Rust (orange-red) needs chemical descaler, grease (black) needs hot water + high pressure. When both exist, we know which to use when.Gloved Close-Up Demo We hold the angle for the owner — not to scare them, but to help them understand "this repair is worth it."Fully Black Interior · False Water Surface That "water surface" is actually crystalline solid, not liquid. A snake just punches a small hole that re-seals in days. Complete solution requires jetting + replacing the damaged section.Cross-Section · Grease Thickness Visible Less than 30% of the original diameter remains clear. We send this photo to the owner — evidence on file for next time.
🍳 Restaurant & Commercial (4 photos)
Restaurants generate huge amounts of grease and food waste daily — we specialise in grease traps and sump pits.
Restaurant Sump Pit · Overflowing (Before) The sump pit was so blocked that sewage overflowed onto the floor — the entire kitchen smelled terrible. We arrived within an hour of the WhatsApp.Grease Trap Cleared (After) From yellow greasy water to clean water in 1–1.5 hours of careful work. That evening the owner asked about a quarterly maintenance contract.Grease Trap Cleaning · Real Work in Progress A pre-lunch emergency. We inserted the high-pressure jet into the long stainless trough and flushed out all hardened grease. Afternoon lunch service continued as normal.Complex Back Alley Routing Restaurant back alleys often have narrow stairs + multiple chambers + ageing systems. We feed a 100-metre line down while guiding it from the stairwell. Positions where competitors can't reach — we can.
🗑 Extracted Debris Proof (5 photos)
We neatly lay out everything we pull out for the owner to see — a bag of sludge is the most direct proof of honest work.
Bag of Sludge · Extracted from Drain Shiny black substance isn't mud — it's years of hardened grease crystals + food debris. Several kilogrammes. Customers who see this never think HKD 800 is expensive again.From Restaurant Grease Trap · Shells + Debris Close-Up Complete oyster shells, fibrous food matter, mixed with plastic packaging fragments and grease chunks. HK restaurants generate ten times more drain waste than most people imagine.Food Debris + Plastic Glove Fragments Extracted from another restaurant — food scraps, cooking glove fragments, meat fibres. We suggest which sources can be controlled.Hardened Mortar Chunks · Old Building Typical extraction from an old building — hardened brick mortar + grease composite. Has to be manually reamed out. A snake can't push through at all.From Toilet · Even a Badminton Shuttlecock Residential toilet backup. After clearing, along with fibrous toilet paper, there was a complete yellow badminton shuttlecock head. We never laugh at customers.
🚽 Bathroom & Installation (4 photos)
Unblocking isn't our only service — installation, repair and light plumbing also available.
Commercial Bathroom · Tools Set Up Commercial building toilet emergency — we arrive and set up immediately: P-trap removed, electric snake in position, waste bags ready. Professional setup gives customers confidence.Commercial Toilet · Snake in Action 10-metre electric snake slowly pushed into the bend, shredding debris inside. 22 minutes done + water test. Employees didn't need to borrow toilets from other floors.Before Leaving · Squeegee Clean-Up We use a red squeegee to push water off the wet floor, leaving a clean environment. Pro standard details.New Unit Install · Concealed Cistern + Pipes We don't just unblock — we installed a concealed toilet cistern, PVC drain pipe and water shutoff valve. Non-drain enquiries welcome for a quote →
⚠️ Pricing note: Prices listed (HKD 200 inspection + HKD 800+ work fee · high-pressure jetting HKD 2,300–2,800 · mechanical reaming HKD 3,800+) are for typical cases. Some jobs are more complex — old buildings, severe hardening, restricted access, hidden damage, etc. — actual pricing may vary based on difficulty. But we always confirm a full written quote via WhatsApp before any work starts. No surprise charges, no on-site markups. If anyone (even us) tries that, refuse immediately.
People Also Ask — Blocked Drain Hong Kong
How much does emergency drain cleaning cost in Hong Kong?
Emergency drain cleaning in Hong Kong typically costs HKD 800–1,500 for standard blockages (toilet, kitchen sink, bathroom). Severe cases requiring high-pressure jetting cost HKD 2,300–2,800. Always ask for a written quote before the technician arrives — some HK companies advertise HKD 200 then inflate to thousands on-site.
Is there a 24-hour emergency plumber near me in Hong Kong?
Yes. DrainFix HK offers 24-hour emergency drain unblocking across all 18 districts — Hong Kong Island (Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, Mid-Levels), Kowloon (Tsim Sha Tsui, Mong Kok, Kwun Tong) and New Territories. Typical arrival is ~120 minutes. Night calls (11pm–6am) add HKD 200.
What is the best blocked drain company in Hong Kong?
The best blocked drain companies in Hong Kong provide: (1) a written WhatsApp quote before dispatch, (2) no-fix-no-fee guarantee on the work charge, (3) on-site water re-test before leaving, (4) licensed technicians with real photo evidence. DrainFix HK meets all four — see our 38 real work photos and real work photos.
Can I unblock a drain myself?
For minor clogs, try a plunger (15–20 pumps). Do NOT use harsh chemical drain cleaners — they corrode old HK pipes and make professional drain cleaning unsafe. If water backs up, multiple drains clog at once, or there's a bad smell, the blockage is likely in the main stack — call a professional.
